I tried atleast 10 nipples/bottles before finding this one. I was breastfeeding my newborn but she was going to need to take a bottle on occassion when I was not available. After having her choke and sputter with many different nipple and crying and being frustrated for atleast 3 weeks, I found a dad whose wife had similar problems. He recommended these nipples. It worked like a charm. She took it on the 2nd attempt. It is very difficult for breastfeeding babies to use a bottle that is flowing too fast. I dont know what we would have done without this nipple. She did quickly move up to the level 1's (around 3 mo) and to the level 2 around 5 mo, but this made taking a bottle possible for her.

Our preemie (6 weeks early) was a pro at breast feeding, but even at 1 month old, would choke any time she tried to eat from a level one nipple. Our pediatrician recommended these nipples, and they worked perfectly. She has not choked once using them. Much better for her, and much less stressful for us. As an aside, the Dr Brown's natural flow bottles seem to be the only ones that I've tried that do what they advertise - elminmate negative pressure and bubbles in the forumula/breastmilk. Highly recommended.

Our daughter was born with a "high palate" and the Stage 1 nipples from Dr. Brown's were flooding her mouth and she would cough and gag...I didn't want to use them, but needed to supplement her with formula. These preemie nipples saved the day! They were the perfect flow AND I was very concerned about nipple confusion since I was breastfeeding the majority of the time - no problems at all! She went from the bottle to the breast without missing a beat. VERY happy with this purchase!

When I was in the process of returning to work, we discovered that our EBF daughter was having issues with the nipples that came with the Dr Brown 4oz bottles (stage 1). I did some research, and found these on Amazon, and it made all the difference!! Our DD will be 3 months tomorrow, and we're still using these nipples. Not sure when we'll graduate to stage 1, because she still seems happy with these.

These nipples worked great for my preemie. He was struggling with the Level 1 nipples - milk would come out the sides of his mouth and he was choking a lot. The preemie nipples let the perfect amount of milk out so that he wasn't overwhelmed.

I love Dr. Brown's. Dr. B's bottles really help my baby from getting gas or spitting up. My newborn was still having a little trouble with bottles using the level 1 nipples due to the milk coming out too quickly. I switched to the preemie nipples and haven't had a single problem since.

Our daughter struggled when born with the level 1 nipples as they were too fast for her when trying to swallow. She would often choke and often we could hear the formula going in her stomache rather fast. We found the preemie nipples through Dr. Browns and ordered them and have has a lot of success! I would recommend these to anyone experiencing the level ones being too fast at first.

I am returning to work soon and needed to get my 3 week old used to a bottle. I tried lots of newborn nipples and it seemed like with all of them atleast half of the milk that I pumped was on her face and clothes. I read other reviews of these nipples, the flow is a lot slower that the baby would have to suck to get the milk out. I am so glad I got these! They keep feeding her not messy at all and she goes from bottle to breast with no problem at all!

These nipples are perfect for breastfed babies taking their first bottles because the flow is slower than most Level 1 nipples. Highly recommended!

My baby girl was full-term. She is a slow eater and with the stage one nipple the milk was constantly spilling out of the sides and bottom of her mouth. I couldn't find these preemie nipples in ANY of the local stores and I needed them right away. I paid extra for next day delivery and so glad I did...worth it! Now she has no problems. :) (BTW, I first tried "Playtex Vent-Aire", as recommended by my lactation consultant, and it wasn't noticeably slower to me.)
